INTO THE NEW CENTURY: RECENT HOLLOWAY AND THE POETICS OF QUOTATION

The music, like its composer, plays a game of hide and seek. But it does so in broad daylight. Robin Holloway's music is not always quoting others – although it quotes more, and more covertly, than many of his own published statements might lead one to believe – but quotation has become such a compulsive game for Holloway that it is often hard to say where ‘he’ stops or where ‘others’ begin. Whereas the composer's own public confessions have tended to focus on the extent to which his music adopts the voices and personas of others, it seems to the current writer that Holloway's own voice – its harmonic and textural mannerisms, preferences in structure and in subject matter, ways of relating notes to ideas and images – remains characteristic and recognizable throughout. It is the implications of this fact that I wish to explore in this brief survey.

From "Letter to American Poets"

REVRW From "Letter to American Poetsjj Ruxandra Cesereanu A panther is writing you, American poets, men and women with knives and trees in your heart, red teeth and violet tongues telling poems about disembowelled solitude, smoky days and Saturnian nights, leaves and peppered harbours. You are there, in the fountain of ashes, I am here, in the highway of my brain, trying to enter your heads through a warm surface, playing the guitar and singing with my tobacco voice, taking you near the moon in a game of hide and seek. You have amnesia, I have amnesia, we are both old flying through membranes and disasters, while purple angels play trumpets and the Apocalypse arrives sweet as a forgotten breeze. I am pushing you up against the wall of lullabies, shadowing sorrow, entering the yellow tunnel. Hah, I am pungent and alone, you are in the city traffic like no Gods delivering. I would have liked to feel your touch, my young-old skin is disappearing in these noisy days, but I am undamaged and unafraid of yesterdays coming like beheaded queens. You are there and I, here, cyanotic gates are climbing on my bones, I am writing about your lives and dark sides without knowing them, only because from thousands of miles away I smell rains and dreams as they are not. The lizard of my poem gets you from within, you are there and I, here, but all of us tumbled in the big washing machine of the world, with sunflowers for hearts and landscapes of eyes as electric skies dancing lost rock and roll. Hah, I would have liked to bend over America like a whirling dervish, trembling bridges with my temples, crossing stars with my hair, breaking birds with my walls, hot waves, hot waves in brains and the ribs where an angel has fallen like a magician's hat. You are there and I, here, half human beings, half animals and another half objects of prey, talking, scratching, drinking, remembering, lying, thinking, searching, not finding, knowing, flying, living and dying in the honour of no God. A panther is writing you, American poets, my fears are yellow wings water, this is why I tell you I'm about to change in the alchemic sunlight, buying at the supermarket all the things I need for my transformation: little iron balls, a parrot, gentle darkness, jaws of void, one scarface, wind veins, chlorine. I am inside an interval of my life where there is no shame, only a swollen repentance for nothing and the abandoned windows of night where I offer myself as a feverish skin. You are there and I, here, sitting in the bedroom of our lives with looking-glasses for bones. A black-swan gaze in our eyes and the sound of death as a necklace—this is what I feel. But there is also the hard transparency of strangers, the white nails of several ghosts in the very morning while the silence slowly carries its corpse. You are there and I, here, wasping and narrowing myself, blinding despair, (but what is blind despair today?) vanishing space and time in a cup of coffee. HOW AND WHY I WROTE A POEM ENTITLED I never thought I would someday write a poem directly in English. It is true I have written an entire volume of short stories directly in Spanish (which is my favourite language for languishing in a special zone, a liquid one, in my brain and my mouth), but I never thought I would do the same thing in English because I have never conceived the English language as a specific medium for my poetry. My ars poética focuses on delirium and deliria, and I have always thought that the English language is more appropriate for reality, for objects, for exact things, and not for nightmares, delirium tremens, and the like. I think that poets must be "beasts" to themselves and to others (this means being authentic and violent so as to thrill and hook the mind, soul, and body of the reader, not letting readers linger in a dolce-far-niente mood, forcing them to experience catharsis). The English language seemed...

A survival game of hide and seek: cytomegaloviruses and MHC class I antigen presentation pathways.

Cytomegaloviruses (CMV) are members of the ubiquitous family of herpesviruses, which escape immunological clearance and persist throughout life in the infected host. Cytomegaloviruses have developed numerous strategies that permit them to co-exist with their host even as an anti-virus immune response endangers their long-term survival. A considerable number of these strategies are aimed at MHC class I presentation of viral proteins to CD8+ T cells (TCD8+ ). Although the gamut of CMV immune evasion will be briefly examined, the primary focus of this review is on the host ability to counteract the strategies developed by CMV to inhibit antigen processing and presentation. A primary mechanism used by the immune system is the recognition of very early virus proteins including recognition of the immunomodulatory proteins themselves. We further speculate that cross-presentation of antigen is an adaptive immune response to the inhibition of direct presentation. Other mechanisms, such as the evolution of pAPC subsets, may also allow the immune system to adapt to a variety of different infectious pathogens while preventing cytopathic infection of all pAPCs.

Academic Middle Management in Higher Education: A game of hide and seek?

Fourteen academic middle managers at the level of Dean of Faculty or Head of Department or its equivalent were interviewed in one of the 'newer' universities in the UK. One strand of the interviews related to the extent to which these middle managers felt that they could be transparent in their dealings with their superiors and their subordinates. Although they stated that they were in principle overwhelmingly in favour of transparency, they nevertheless acknowledged that they felt obliged at times to proceed in more covert ways. They consider that this is partly forced upon them by the need to act as entrepreneurs in a competitive marketplace where showing their hands too early could seriously disadvantage them and their organisations in the acquisition of new business. They also felt that they were treated in similar secretive ways by their own senior management. This article considers some of the forms which the hiding process may take, and explores some of the issues of trust which may influence the degree of concealment which takes place. In the process some of the nature of academic middle management in current higher education is revealed.

Na3N—An Original Synthetic Route for a Long Sought After Binary Nitride

The game of hide and seek is over: The existence of a binary sodium nitride Na3N (see structure) has been the subject of speculation for a long time. Recently, through a novel experimental method, the synthesis and structural characterization of this compound has been successful. The compound crystallizes in the unexpected anti-Re3O structure type.

Imaginary hide and seek - A technique for opening up a psychic space in child psychotherapy

Working with concrete states of mind confronts the analyst with major countertransference problems: faced with the emptiness of the patient's psychic functioning, the analyst is threatened with the deadening of his own psychic capacities and the crumbling of the analytic process. This paper examines two cases of children who presented in very different ways, one featuring deeprooted depression and empty behaviour, the other featuring mastery and destructive omnipotence. It proposes a specific technique to enable the reconstruction of representational functioning through play. In the context of the transference/countertransference relationship and the analytic process, the introduction of a game of imaginary hide and seek, whose rules are defined and analysed, may represent an instrument of choice for opening up an undeveloped psychic space in these pathologies.

Finding New Paths to Family Scholarship: A Response to James White and Sheila Marshall

White and Marshall claim to have a difficult time understanding the logic and practical implications of my suggestions to develop a critical consciousness for an inclusive family studies (Allen, 2000). They find that many of my key assumptions are tacit and unexamined, and they do not believe that I provide adequate documentation for my knowledge claims. Reading their interpretation of my essay, I felt as if we were playing a game of hide-- and-seek. We're in the same backyard, but our perspectives are worlds apart. They've got their eyes closed and are counting to 10 while I hide. They can't see me while they're counting with covered eyes. not all that aware of them either, because scrambling for a challenging and secure place to hide. After they've reached 10 and said, Ready or not, here we come, they start to look for me. First they check the bushes, then the toy box, then underneath the car. But I've found a new spot up in the apple tree. I can see them searching in the usual places they always check when we play this game. Perhaps they can't imagine anyone climbing up that apple tree. After all, they've never tried it so it doesn't occur to them that someone like me (e.g., someone little, a girl) could do it. So intent on pursuing their habitual pattern, it is taking them such a long time to find me. Why don't they just look up? I start dropping apples to give them a clue. Some even hit them on the head, but they are so intent on their original plan and purpose that they still can't see me. Hey, guys, up here, I say. I'm not that hard to see. Just lift up your head. If only they would try to imagine that there is more than one way to find what they are looking for. The deductive, positivist path White and Marshall advocate is the path that dominates family studies. White and Marshall point out, there are many ways of going down that path. Positivism is not a monolith. Just as there are as many feminisms as there are feminist scholars, there are multiple variations of positivism, and the same is true for postpositivism and postmodernism. Consult any methods or theories text addressing the philosophy and practice of science for evidence of divergent knowledge pathways (see, e.g., Guba and Lincoln's [1994] metaphysics of alternative inquiry paradigms). I am in complete agreement with White and Marshall in cautioning against the creation of some monolithic distinction between falsely opposing camps. I agree with their concluding statement: As a result, we do not see dichotomous treatments such as descriptions of positivism postmodernism as doing much more than trivializing important distinctions about fundamental assumptions for research and theory (p. 897). The purpose of my essay was much larger than the tired caricature of positivism versus postpositivism or postmodernism. I share White and Marshall's enthusiasm for philosophy of science questions, but the deductive method they propose is, in my opinion, more of the same kind of theorizing that could render family scholarship irrelevant for the 21st century. My aim was to demonstrate another method of theorizing, which respects the lived experience of the people who actually live in families (e.g., inclusivity) and utilizes the human capacity for reflection and critique (e.g., critical consciousness). By valuing additional knowledge paths, we gain insight and understanding of what family life is like for us (e.g., the knowers), as family members, as well as for the people we study and the students we teach. The method I used to illustrate one alternative path is that of narrative, or storytelling. I told a story in my essay about how I felt when another researcher described families in which I have lived in ways that denigrated their full humanity. I told stories on myself, as well, to reveal how interaction with others once deemed different from myself, through the process of critical reflection, helped to deconstruct my own blinders and biases. …

Missing and Mending: Romeo and Juliet at Play in the Romance Chronotope

Assume for a moment that Romeo and Juliet is not about star-crossed lovers or feuding families, but more profoundly about the generic insufficiency of time that afflicts everyone and everything to do with romance, author as well as characters. Poetically and emotionally, temporal insufficiency is necessary for romance as a genre, a quality that brings it into close relationship with tragedy. Romeo and Juliet succeeds as a romance because it confirms the besetting, archetypal anxiety of all lovers, that they will not be able to transform the accident of a single meeting into the necessity of a life together, one moment into an eternity. And yet the play's success as a tragedy depends upon preventing the lovers' desired synchronicity from enduring in life, a generic countermovement to love's dilation of the moment. The interference of romantic and tragic rhythms, the mutual dependence of temporal modes in tragic and romance plots, is perhaps the most important poetic issue at stake in Romeo and Juliet, and one to which Shakespeare was alive. In adapting his most proximate source, Arthur Brooke's Tragicall Historye of Romeus and Juliet (1562), Shakespeare telescopes the chronology of the story from roughly nine months to four days, Thursday to Sunday. Then, as if in a conscious attempt to fit too much into too little, to force a tragic outcome, the prologue hurries the events once more, recasting the question of story-time as a dramatic problem, The fearful passage of their death-marked love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which but their children's end nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. (Prologue, l. 9)[1] Sudden angst and unjustified urgency is the mood the Chorus seems to want to foist upon us. The fictional journey we are about to embark upon is a 'fearful passage', made all the more so by the scant two hours allotted its course. Is that enough time, we ask, to see the story through to its end? The answer, of course, is 'no'. Doubtless Shakespeare knew that two hours, like the lovers' abbreviated four days, is inadequate and would force the cast to step up what Granville-Barker calls the play's 'quickening temper',[2] even to the point of hurrying lines past an audience struggling to keep pace with the plot. Indeed, the Chorus anticipates the likelihood of lines' going unheard, an important motive that strangely has been over-looked. To counter the 'quickening temper' it incites, the Chorus first begs the audience's patience: 'if you with patient ears attend'. Then, following the aural image, it puns on the word 'here', 'What here ['heare' Q 2] shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend', promising to recapture the missing gist of the story with acting ('our toil') as supplement to dialogue. The prologue's final couplet is the key to understanding what is going on temporally and spatially in the rest of the play. Missing and mending is not only the major task of the plot (lovers' assignations missed, misunderstandings and feuds mended) but a strategy of dramatic composition, one that acknowledges the insufficiency of the two-hour playing time and seeks to mend it by stretching the plastic unity of time and place. At the risk of subsidizing too heavily the significance of the homonymic connection between 'here' as location and 'hear' as audition, I would like to suggest that this pun stands at the threshold to a poetics of romance mistiming and misplacement. In theatre, hearing or being here establishes a character's presence or absence. For the most part, Romeo and Juliet are not here and choose not to hear; for the bulk of the play they are, in the eyes of their families, missing, an absence which generates the frequent calls of 'where' and returns of 'here'. What follows is an elaborate game of hide and seek, of watching and calling and missing, part Narcissus and Echo, part Pyramus and Thisbe in inspiration and all transacted against the chaotic, foreshortened timeframe of the Phaethon story. …

Young Children's False Belief Understanding During Play

This article reports on an investigation of false belief understanding in 3- to 5-year-olds. A task based on an observed episode of naturalistic play was used. Children participated in a game of hide and seek, in which a false belief was generated in the seeker by another child and the researcher. The task was undertaken twice with an interval of 6 weeks between collections. In addition to the hide and seek task, 2 traditional false belief tasks were completed. Results indicated that more children were able to demonstrate an understanding of false belief during the hide and seek tasks than during the traditional tasks. One reason for this finding may be that different social contexts elicit different representational understanding. In addition, improvement in performance between the 1st and 2nd collections appears to be related to maturational factors.

Living the game of hide and seek: Leisure in the lives of gay and lesbian young adults

Little attention has been given to gays and lesbians in leisure research. Increased understanding of the issues surrounding gay and lesbian people can enhance the leisure of individuals of non‐dominant sexual orientations and allow them to construct positive, self‐expressive leisure experiences. Using a symbolic interactionist approach, this study explored how gay and lesbian young adults assign meaning to their leisure and what role leisure plays in their identity development. Interviews were conducted with 19 gay and lesbian young adults. Three major themes were identified through constant comparative data analysis: negotiation of comfort within leisure, the experience of homophobia, and a desire for group enclosure in leisure. Implications and suggestions for eliminating heterosexism in leisure are discussed based on these findings.

The role of familiarity and sound in the development of person and object permanence

A cross‐sectional study investigated the development of search for objects that differed in animism (people vs. toys) and familiarity (mother vs. stranger, laboratory vs. home toy) in 37 infants at 6, 8 and 10 months. In different conditions, the objects either were (a) visible only prior to hiding, (b) audible during hiding, or (c) visible and audible prior to hiding, and then audible during hiding. Analyses of successful performance (criterion) and length of time infants took to reach criterion (latency) revealed the following. When infants were required to search for their mothers who interacted with them in a game of hide and seek, they performed better then when they were required to search for strangers or inanimate objects under similar conditions, especially during condition (c). The presentation conditions had little differential effect in search for inanimate objects or the stranger. Although performances became better with age, a substantial number of 6‐month‐old infants searched for hidden objects. The conditions facilitating search focused on intermodal information and a familiar social context. The findings forge important links between studies of object permanence, object perception and social knowledge.

A Scientific Journey of Twenty Years

The Hidden Games of Organizations by Mara Selvini Palazzoli et al., Pantheon, 1986 The Work of Mara Selvini Palazzoli, edited by Matteo Selvini, Jason Aronson, 1987 The hierarchical structure of Dr. Selvini-Palazzoli's twenty year projects with families and with organizations can be understood in terms of the classes of moves, the postures, the intentions of the interviewers, and the constant bold exploratory attitude. Her intentions have changed sharply through three different periods of her work.

Pathogenesis of lentivirus infections

Following infection of animals or humans, lentiviruses play a prolonged game of hide and seek with the host's immune system which results in a slowly developing multi-system disease. Emerging knowledge of the disease processes is of some relevance to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), which is caused by a virus possessing many of the characteristics of a lentivirus.

An application of control theory to a game of hide and seek

Abstract An object is to be hidden in one of a number of regions. A searcher may divide his effort between the regions with the aim of finding the object as rapidly as possible. The chances of detection vary from region to region. The best search strategy and the best way of hiding the object so as to frustrate the searcher are established.

Davidson's Semantic Program

Donald Davidson did it. He did it slowly, deliberately, in more than a half dozen widely noted essays. What he did was to elaborate a program for the study of empirical semantics. Nor did he stop there. He went on to apply his program to some of the problems that have long bedeviled semantics: action sentences, indirect discourse and propositional attitudes.My goal in this paper is to assess Davidson's achievement. The first step is to assemble the program from the sketches and hints scattered among Davidson's papers. This is the project of my first section where my aim is sympathetic exposition. Since Davidson sometimes seems to be playing a game of hide and seek with his reader, my reconstruction of his program and arguments is of necessity occasionally speculative. In the second section my stance turns critical. There are anomalies in the program; the sort of theory Davidson advocates is not the sort delivered. When the problems are pushed, I think the program loses whatever initial plausibility it may have had. It is my contention that Davidson has provided no serious framework for the empirical study of natural language.

Representation, Taxation, and Tyranny in Revolutionary Massachusetts

AM ERICANS HAVE NEVER liked taxation, particularly the British taxes levied upon them in the decade before the American Revolution. They referred to those assessments with various impolite phrases, some not fit for mixed company, but the saying, Taxation without representation is tyranny, became a famous slogan and is better remembered today than any other.' The Stamp Act, the Townshend Duties, and the Tea Act fell under the odium of being tyrannical and aroused emotions that are difficult to comprehend some two hundred years later when taxation has become a game of hide and cheat. Those feelings of 1776, however, were genuine, deepseated, and explosive. No one who has read the literature of the conflict will dispute the revolutionary nature of the reaction against taxation. And most will agree that the taking of any tax money in America, but especially in Massachusetts, caused acute pains, synonymous to blood letting, and caused men to wail like sinners at Jerusalem's Wall. Even for such worthy purposes as education, defense, and the promotion of trade, New Englanders wanted hard
